Sorry, Republicans. Clinton's E-Mails Won't Take Her Down.

FBI Director James Comey held a press conference this morning to announce the results of an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server. Sorry -- make that "servers," for one of the revelations of today’s announcement was that there was actually more than one server, more than one administrator, and an attitude towards data handling and records preservation that was, to say the least, breathtakingly insouciant. Nonetheless, there will be no indictment recommended, for while the FBI found that the individuals involved were extremely careless, Comey says: “In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts.”

What else did the inquiry find? That Clinton sent and received emails about information classified Top Secret/Special Access via her private server. That we don't really know whether the server(s) was (were) hacked. That normal people caught doing this sort of thing would often face “administrative or security sanctions” -- i.e., having their security clearance stripped and/or getting fired or otherwise punished for the violation.
